Synopsis

A family holiday should be something to remember. However, many parents find the prospect of planning, booking and sometimes even taking a holiday with their children somewhat daunting. This book aims to guide parents through the process of choosing the holiday most suitable for their family and make the most it from start to finish. As well as offering advice on traditional family holidays it also discusses how families can go skiing or cruising, visit cities, plan a break on a tight budget or even take an extended back-packing tour. Holidays with all ages of children are discussed, including an entire chapter on travelling with babies and toddlers. The book also offers advice on what method of transport to choose, what to pack, how to avoid problems and what to do if things go wrong. It includes numerous suggestions of family-friendly tour companies and destinations as well as opinions from parents sharing their experiences of successful family holidays. Written by a parent and travel journalist, this book is a must-have for anyone who wants to make the most of their family holidays, whether its a weekend in a cottage in Wales or two-month backpacking trip.
